We recently bought a digital camera and inserted the disc to install the programs to add pics online. The disc will not start. It doesn't even make any sounds like it's trying to load it or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you're expecting the disk to AutoRun, maybe it's not meant to. Try it 
on another PC in case the disk is knackered, see if it autoruns there.
Can you read any files on the disk?

Might be a case of adding the hardware, booting windows and when windows discovers 
the hardware and asks to update/find the driver pointing to the driver program on 
the disk.

If the CD should Autorun it should have an Autorun.inf file on the root of the CD. 
Open it with NotePad and look at 

e.g.
[autorun]
OPEN=SETUP.EXE /AUTORUN

If you copy and paste D:\SETUP.EXE /AUTORUN into the Run: D:\ being your CD 
Rom drive. It should do the same function.

Also Autorun could be disabled have a look at Control Panel\System or right-click 
on My Compter and select Properties. Click on your CD Rom and select Properties on 
the Settings tab you will have a Auto insert notification checkbox make sure 
its checked.

Well the thing is that if you click on the EDrive it tell me to insert the disc even thought it's allready in.

Can you read any files of the CD?

You could try a CD Rom lens cleaner just in case its old and needs cleaning.

You only have the one CD Rom?
